John McDermott Instructor of Anthropology at Fullerton College In 1998 and earned an Associates degree at Cerritos College, continuing on to California State University Fullerton, I earned both Bachelors and Masters Degrees, in anthropology I have had special interests in cultural diversity and environmental influences, osteology, the human need for supernatural belief systems and primate cognition I have found that my interest in anthropology is connected to my desire for social justice; by learning more about what it is to be human, what the human condition requires and desires, which in turn, determines how we organize, create and maintain our societies, I hope to understand how we can plan the cultures we create in a more equitable manner
